1. Maggie A.

“Our 1 year old dog had a lot of fun with Willow, Maggie’s dog, while we were away. We received pictures everyday and she kept us updated on the little things. She’ll definitely be sitting for us again!”


2. Brittany S.

“Brittany was a hit with our Sheltie from the very first meet & greet! She kept me updated on how they were doing. Which is a blessing especially when you are out of town attending a funeral. You definitely do not want to worry about your fur babies!”


3. Kailyn W.

“This was my first time leaving my two dogs with someone other than family. Kailyn did an amazing job with my two dogs who have a lot of behavioral issues that require special considerations (feeding and walking separately, medications, etc). She sent me pics and videos of the dogs too. Highly recommend!”




4. Caitlin D.

“Our girls (two dogs) loved Caitlin! It was so much easier leaving for a work trip knowing they were in good hands. She sent photos every day and they both looked so happy!! We highly highly recommend Caitlin!”


5. David B.

“David is fantastic! Our dogs really love David and he was awesome with sending us a lot of updates with pictures. We're pretty obsessed with our dogs, despite their little quirks which makes going away for us pretty difficult and David was wonderful with putting our minds at ease while we were away. He was very proactive with setting up a time to come meet us and our pups and I knew from his kind demeanor that he would be great. He asked us a lot of great questions that I didn't even think about, so I knew he was careful with the details of our dogs. We will definitely book with David again and I highly recommend him!”


6. Kyla S.
“I've known Kyla S. for a while, and I can confidently say she has a natural gift with animals. Living on five acres with goats, chickens, geese, ducks, cats, and dogs, she has hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals every day. Her patience, responsibility, and love for animals make her the perfect pet sitter or dog walker. Whether it's ensuring pets are well-fed, exercised, or simply getting the affection they need, Kyla goes above and beyond. Any pet parent would be lucky to have her care for their furry (or feathered!) family members!”


7. Samantha A.
“Sam was amazing!!! I never thought I would be able to find someone on this app that could watch my pets! I own 2 dogs, a cat, a few lizards as well as a sugar glider. Not only did she take amazing care of my animals, but she also went above and beyond to bring enrichment toys, treats, and other things to make sure they all had an amazing time while I was away. She has a lot of connections within the vet field and I know I am way more comfortable with her at my house knowing she can get my animal immediately into see a doctor if need be. She is always there when I need her!!!!”


8. Anabelle M.
About: I have a beautiful dog of my own at home, his name is Merlin, he is an Australian Shepherd Border Collie mix, and a huge bundle of energy! I am not unfamiliar with puppies, elders, big dogs, little dogs, and the like! I work at a doggy daycare, so I frequently interact with dogs ranging from Great Danes, Golden Retreivers, and even Dachshunds! I currently work part time, with the only possible times taken up by my work being 7 am to 7 pm, with me typically working the later shifts. I am able to stay overnight, head over during early morning hours, and I'm also able to stick around and hang out with your pets when work doesn't require my time! I love to take dogs on walks, play with cats and dogs alike, and cuddle with both of them, should they permit me to! I am fully willing to do whatever needed to keep you and your furbaby happy given I am able to do so!


9. Maxine M.

“Maxine was so conscientious and took wonderful care of Artie! I would be happy to recommend her to anyone needing pet care!”


10. Julieann C.
“Julieann cared for our 2 dogs, cat & guinea pig in our home. Not only did she provide excellent care for our animals, but she tidied up the house while she was there and brought in our mail and packages for us too. We felt safe knowing that our pets & home were in her hands.”


11. Emerencjana P.

“Ema was amazing, again! She took great care of our girls and managed our little cavalier’s meds with no issue. The girls loved the attention and all the quality time outside in the backyard in the sunshine! She left our home spotless :) communication was awesome and we got lots of updates and pics.”


12. Renee M.

“Renee sent lots of photos while we were away. She picked up poop in the yard and left our house clean for our return. We would hire her again to watch our 3 dogs.”


13. Michael R.

“Michael was wonderful with our Poet. He handled her moods and anxiety like a pro. Poet seemed very relaxed when we got home. Thank you, Michael, for taking such good care of our baby.”


14. Donald S.
“Donald has years of experience with both livestock and house pets. He has worked at a Vet Clinic for 4+ years and is also attending The Ohio State University to become a veterinarian. He has been a 4H member for 15 years and he is now a 4H advisor that helps with younger 4H members and their animals. He has a lot of knowledge in pet health care. He's a very reliable and responsible individual, and I would trust him with any of our family pets!”


15. Stephanie B.

“Stephanie took great care of our dog and our home, I would absolutely recommend her!”

About: I’ve cared for many animals throughout my life. My mom had everything from cats and dogs to lizards and snakes. So, I’ve seen it all! I’m available throughout the afternoon and evening. I have classes in the morning and a job in the evening that could interfere on certain days. Besides that I’m all free!! In my house currently 3 loving kitties who I care for everyday. They are all indoor only cats due to heavy traffic in the road.

20. Tess M.
About: Both of my parents own/have owned a dog kennel. Starting at the age of 10, I began helping out walking, feeding, and loving on dogs. At 13, I worked as a part-time manager and associate at their kennel, managing medicine, cleaning, feeding, walking, and other duties. I also currently work part-time at another dog kennel in Sunbury when I am not playing softball or in school. My family owns 7 dogs, ranging in size from a Great Dane (who is deaf) to a Brussels Griffon! I have experience with hundreds of different breeds, as well as different medications, feeding instructions, and other special treatments depending on the breed. I also love to train dogs! While I am not certified to train, I have trained all of my own dogs to sit, stay, and lay down. Just something I would love to work on at no cost to get better at! I currently am a senior in high school who plays softball in the spring. I work part-time at 2 kennels, however most of that work is during the week. During the softball season, my weekends become free, allowing me to care for others animals! I have lots of toys, leashes, and experience playing with dogs, as well as cleaning up after them. I will bring doggy-bags to clean up poo in the yard, and lots of paper towels for any messes inside (especially with puppies). I also love to try to train to sit, lay, stay, etc. While I am not certified to train, it is a hobby of mine that I would love to work on! So I could easily bring trainer treats if allowed.
